From C2E2... so lucky I bumped into George Perez while making my way to
his table! He's such a great guy and this was definitely the highlight
of the whole con for me!
George Perez and marv wolfman's run New Teen Titans is what got me into
collecting. It was so amazing to meet George Perez again and finally
meet marv wolfman! George Perez is retiring from con so my last chance
to meet him and it was amazing. He is the nicest and I dont even care I
had to wait 3 hours in line because it was all worth it for the
conversation I got to have with him!
Excerpt:
In my interview with [Marv] Wolfman, we also touched on the latest
iteration of Titans to grace the small screen. With both Jericho and
Deathstroke, who play major roles in The Judas Contract, fueling rumors
that there will be an adaptation of the story for the upcoming season, I
asked Wolfman to weigh in on the casting of Chella Man and Esai Morales
as well as the show itself:
I’m fascinated by it; I think it’s phenomenal. The actor who’s playing
Deathstroke, Esai Morales, is really good; I mean, he’s a great actor.
The person playing Jericho is Deaf and is going to use sign language
exactly the same way that we had [Jericho use it]. The fact that he’s
Deaf is going to affect his performance because he’s going to move in
certain ways, you take more control of yourself… I’m really looking
forward to it.
Perez: Jericho was there to play off one of my strengths: facial
expressions and body language. It was one the challenges I gave to Marv
was creating a character who couldn't speak. So everything about Jericho
would be based on how I drew him.
George Perez announced his retirement this year. I counted down the
minutes until I could contact his art rep to set up a commission for his
final C2E2 appearance. I was extremely lucky to get on his list. I
wanted a character he created and since I'd just read "The Terror of
Trigon" I went for the Devil's daughter herself, Raven.
I'll cherish this wonderful piece for the rest of my days. Thank you George.
Today exclusively at @C2E2 pick up copies of #LaBorinqueña №2 signed by
legendary artist #GeorgePerez until 3PM! After over 40 years in comics
he's retiring and our book is one of his final covers!
One of the greatest moments just happened. We got to meet the legend
George Perez, one of the nicest human beings we had the pleasure of
meeting. Day 3 of C2E2 has started damn near perfect.

JUST MET GEORGE PEREZ!!!!!! And he kissed @_chrissyj 🤣🤣
Made
a slight detour before arriving at my booth this morning. George Perez
was so much fun to chat with! Glad I made the time to see him for one of
his last comic cons.
@Marvelousiggy
Met the legendary George Perez. Thank you for your art. Have a happy retirement
I
capped off my weekend telling George Pérez thank you. Thank you for
sharing your gift with the world. And thank you for making me fall in
love with comics. Venom was my first comic. But the #infinitygauntlet
was the first story to capture my attention. Starlin’s story, Perez and
Rubenstien’s art. I’ll never forget it.
y
con las justas logramos conocer a George Perez! y me firmó mi
#teentitans #book1 que conseguí en los stands! Gracias 😎 #georgeperez

George
Perez is a very big reason I’m the comicbook fan I am today. There
wasn’t a story he drew I didn’t read. Today I was able to thank him in
person.

I
stood 3.5 hours to meet the legendary comic artist #GeorgePerez, who
will be retiring soon, to get his autograph at #C2E2. He is the reason I
fell in love with Wonder Woman. 😍 Not only is he a nice guy, but an
amazing artist!

This
will be the best moment of 2019. I said "you called me crazy" George
Perez said "you are, I wouldn't stand in line to see me!" The nicest
most genuine person in comics. I started to cry when he said "it's good I
have to get out while you all still love me" we always will ❤️

Unbelievable
way to finish day 2 and more things that actually happened. Got to
meet, chat, get selfies, and books signed by two legends. Both were an
absolute joy to talk with, and I wish I had more time.

Today for my birthday I had the pleasure of going to C2E2 and met George Perez which was amazing!
Day
2 complete. So happy I met with Clark Gregg and took a pic with him and
my friend. Also meeting George Perez to get my comic signed. Its
unfortunate he is retiring but he made a huge impact in the comic book
industry.

Back
in 1983, my grade school friend Henry Walker gave me a comic book of
his to read and keep for a wknd. The New Teen Titans. I read it and
enjoyed the story, but I was even more fascinated by the artwork. The
art was penciled by George Perez. From then on I've been a avid fan of
his artwork! It is very distinctive. I always said that when I meet him I
will let him know how I felt about killing off my favorite Teen Titans
Terra. So 36 years later, I got my shot! He gave me a "uh um uh oh"
look. So we talked and laughed on it and he said if you got an emotion
from a character than I done my job. After taking pictures and thanking
him he then jokingly said "My condoldences to your loss with Terr" :) so
I did get a pic with George with my first Titan book I read from him.
During
Day 2 of @c2e2, comics legend #GeorgePerez signed comics and talked to
fans. Such a gracious, wonderful guy! @brokenfrontier

I
have been a fan of George Pérez since 1975 when I bought "Avengers"
#141 at a Ribordy's drug store in Munster, Indiana. I meet George twice
at cons in the 1980s but I really wanted to see him one more time. So I
stood in line from about 1:00 to 4:45 on Saturday at C2E2. George is as
genuine and giving as a person can be. He signed a "New Teen Titans" #24
and a "Crisis on Infinite Earths" #7 for me and posed for a picture.
THANK YOU for all the great art and stories over the years!

My sexy wife took me to Chicago so I could
attend C2E2 (Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo) and see George
Perez before he retires. I now have his autograph on my Crisis on
Infinite Earths Absolute Edition, along with writer Marv Wolfman and
editor Len Wein. George is one of the greats, he's a super nice guy, and
I hope he enjoys his retirement as much as I've enjoyed his work.
